Item Description
Explore the world's most famous paintings and the work of two era-defining artists in these three wonderful volumes!
First, take a trip through art history with The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Masterpiece Paintings.
"This impressive book’s broad sweep of material, all from a single museum, makes it at once a universal history of painting and the ideal introduction to the iconic masterworks of this world-renowned institution. Lavish color illustrations and details of 500 masterpieces, created over 5,000 years in cultures across the globe, are presented chronologically from the dawn of civilization to the present."
Next, revel in the work of the Rococo's most infamous artist with The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Fragonard: Drawing Triumphant.
"One of the most forward-looking artists in 18th-century France, Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806) is considered the preeminent draftsman of his time. This fresh assessment of the artist focuses on the role of drawing in his creative process and showcases Fragonard’s mastery and experimentation with drawing in a range of media... The drawings featured here come from public and private collections in New York, balancing a mix of well-loved masterpieces, new discoveries, and works that have long been out of the public eye."
Finally, explore the exqisite creations of Baroque master Anthony van Dyck in The Frick Collection's Van Dyck: The Anatomy of Portraiture.
"This landmark volume is a comprehensive survey of the portrait drawings, paintings, and prints of Anthony van Dyck, one of the most celebrated portraitists of all time... Showcasing the full range of Van Dyck’s fascinating international career with more than 100 works, this catalogue celebrates the artist’s versatility, inventiveness, and influential approach to portraiture. Works include preparatory drawings and oil sketches that shed light on Van Dyck’s working process, prints that allowed his work to reach a wider audience, and grand painted portraits."
